NAME
Linux::Pdeathsig - Perl interface to request a signal on parent death
SYNOPSIS
use Linux::Pdeathsig;
set_pdeathsig(9);
# now you will get SIGKILL when the parent process ends
my $v = &get_pdeathsig;
# get the signal that will be sent when the parent process ends
DESCRIPTION
This simple module provides two functions to set or get the signal that the linux kernel will send when the parent process dies. get_pdeathsig returns 0 when no signal has been set. set_pdeathsig(0) will clear the setting. Both functions croak on error.
EXPORTS
set_pdeathsig, get_pdeathsig by default.
